Pros

If you a undergrad engineer I can't think of a better place to work. The company is managed by engineers, great advancement potential for hard workers with no personal life.

Cons

Poor middle management, many on personal agendas for advancement. In recent years Medtronic has struggled to maintain profitability and because of this, employee layoffs come in Q3 and Q4 to prop up share price.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
